Featuring one hundred of the world's most important and influential spaces by some of the great talents of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, The Iconic Interior tells the often intimate stories of these remarkable domestic designs, their creators and their clients. From minimalism to maximalism and everywhere in between, this stylistic odyssey includes everyone from Alvar Aalto to Coco Chanel, Henry Moore to Piero Fornasetti, Marcel Wanders to Axel Vervoordt, Marc Newson and Karim Rashid.

Every conceivable style is represented, including some that defy categorization. Interiors range from Gesamtkunstwerke of integrated spaces of architecture and built-in furniture to spirited essays in texture and fabric, breathtaking decorative follies, mind-blowing craftsmanship and elegant compositions of precision and restraint. Concise, informative texts and vibrant illustrations, including specially commissioned photographs, offer detailed documentation, while a bibliography and gazetteer provide further information.
Proving that established taste and genuine creativity stand the test of time, these interiors present hundreds of ideas for the contemporary home-owner, architect and designer - anyone looking for inspiration to decorate their house - to create an enduring space of their own. Vissza
